Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

Is anyone else experiencing issues with the PWM fan control on their UD5 mobo?

On my old one PWM works perfectly with all BIOS'es from F5 upwards, but with the new mobo, the only BIOS that PWM works on is F8f...

Anyone know how to sort this out?

As I prefer F7 BIOS, but I can't stand having my fan spinning at full speed constantly, it is far to noisy!!!

I am on F8f right now, and my system is now booting with all of my RAM everytime now, and it is stable at stock settings, but I just can't seem to get it stable @ 4GHz...

::edit::

@Jake, I am also experiencing that issue with the keyboard not working with F8f BIOS, if my system BSOD's, when I restart and it comes up with the screen asking me if I want to start in safe mode, or boot up normally, I have to wait for the timer to run out because I can't press enter on the keyboard... I have USB Keyboard and Mouse enabled in the BIOS, but it refuses to work...

Also, why don't the people who write these BIOS'es not just enable USB keyboard and mouse instead of leaving it disabled at default??

It is really annoying having to go into Intergrated Peripherals to enable the mouse and keyboard all the time!!!

Dunno about the PWM cos I have a pair of fairly quiet fans on my TRUE so they run full whack 24/7, but the keyboard thing I experienced once when I made the mistake of using ET6.......I have since deleted it and just use my BIOS for OC'ing and any other adjustments that I need to make and all is fine (so far :P)

@Brad - What idle temps you gettin on your cores with that Noctua??

@Johnny, which fans do you use on your TRUE?

I have just bought a TRUE from the OcUK Members Market for £20, the guy will be sending it out tommorow for me, but I don't know what fan I should buy for it...

I am thinking about a Noctua fan, but they have a horrible color imo... though if they are good performing fans, then the color shouldn't really be an issue...

Trying like crazy to get my system stable @ 4GHz, but it doesn't seem to matter how much voltage I throw at it, it keeps BSOD'ing on me after a couple of passes in LinX...
